The boys are trying to get up raeo between Duncan Bat bee, 1 winner of the bicycle race on Tues day afternoon, and Ralph Jennings They are both fa&t movers and a con test between them would be very >iu- tcreetiug and exciting. There is very little difference in the speed of the two wheelmen. Resolutions of Respect The following resolutions have been adopted by tbe Baptist Sunday School cm the death ot Rufus L. Mitchell: •V.GmlHn.hjs allwise plans has-seen fit to remove from our midst our much loved companion, Rufus Lester Mitchell. •' In tliis death'we have lost one who was as a sunbeam to those with whom he came in contact. He was kind, obedient, and always thoughtful -of others. Almost in the twinkling of an eye he was taken from us, and his soul took its flight back to God who gave it. The bright precioas flower, tender and beautiful, has been plncked from earth only to bloom in ParadLe, there to dwell forever among the bleat, there to sing the sweet song of ‘Moses and the Lamb.”" Only the memory of his beauty and loveliness of character now re* raaiutf where once his presence made happiness. Oh I why are the purest and best always taken? We know not, but eome day, some where we shall know. Let us not think of dear little Rufus as dead, but only abiding with the angels in Heaven, where all is peace and love. Be it then Resolved 1. By Sunday School class, No. 10, in behalf of the Sunday School, that we bow in bum-, ble submission to the will of a just ami allwise God iu removing our pupil and companion from among us. Resolved 2. That we sincerely de plore his lo-s aud realize that the wound may be healed, and the void filled, yet time and eternity only can tell if his place has been supplied. Resolved 3. That we tender our sympathy to tbe bereaved family and relatives, and to the Sunday School cIhes of which he was a member, and request that these resolutions be published, and a copy of same be furnished the family. Annie D. Arrington, John Stegall, Eugene Smith, Committee, April 30th, 1893. The followiog special appeared in the Albany Herald yesterday after noon: Brunswick, May IS.—President Max Tillman, of the Oglethorpo National -Bank, shot himself in the temple frith a pistol at 10 o’clock this morning- in hi&_office. . He never spoke atteewarda. The bank closed immediately. The First National Bank closed a few mintiteslater, bat. full particulars cannot be learned. ' Other banks in the city' met all de mands promptly. Momentary runs stopped, and no farther danger N of panic is expected. It is believed that the First Nation al Bank will come out all right as soon as collections can be made. It looked like a panic, bat there is no excitement now. The general feeling is that all is right. Stale banks have proffered aid from various points, but none is needed. Mr. TJlmer was, at one time ; a citizen of Thomasville. He was in the employ of Mr. M. Isaac here several years ago. The news of his death was a great shock to bis friends in Thomasville. Mr. John II. Davidson, of tl:c firm of Davidmn & MacIntyre, who have tbe contract for building 'the Tallahassee and Carrabelle railroad, came in yesterday from Montgomery, lie will ape ml several days here. Work will commence on the new road next Monday. Hands are now being employed for that purpoaer Mr. Mac Bulloch, ot Ochlockonee,. was in town yesterday. He says that the recent rains have injured tbe melon vines and jouug melons con siderably, though if good seasons are had from now on they will soon re cover from the damage. Melons as large as a guinea egg are plentiful in that Beclion. Mamed. A friend sends us the following marriage notice from Ocblockonee: At the Union Academy, at Genoa, Fla., on Sunday, the 7di, at 7:30 p. in., Mr. J. W. Shepherd,of Nichol- sou, Ga., was married to Miss Rosalie Smith, of Genoa, Fla, Rsv. J. T. Slaualaml, oi the Baptist church of Hoinerville, officiating. After the mirriage ceremony was performed the happy couple boarded the north bound G. S. <& F. traiu for Thomas- vil e, arriving at 7:30 a. in. They were then driven to the old home of the bridegroom’s, Mrs. J. C. Shep herd, and remained there till Wed nesday, when they went to Ochlock ouee and spent tbe night there with a sister,- Mrs. R, G. Jackson, and Thursday morning boarded tbe train a 1 . 8:20 for Nicholson, Jackson coun ty* Ga„ where they expect to make their future home. Mr. Shepherd is a member of one of tbe best families of Thomas county, but himself holds a prominent position with the Rich mond it Danville road at Nicholson, Ga. The hi hie is of a very promi nent family of Genoa, Fla., but formerly’ of llomeiville Ga. We heartily wish the young couple a happy life among tbe red hills of North Georgia. Starling Smith, one of tbe most notorious negro characters about town, is at last on tbe gang. Starling has b:en in a number of scrapes, but has always managed in some manner to eyade tbe penalty, of the law. lie was convicted last week of carry ing concealed weapons and sentenced to pay a fine or go to the gaDg for three months. He could uot raise the ducats aud had to go to work. -ANNOUNCEMENT by no means.premature, far it should be remembered that our coimnenctment season comes much earlier this year than usual. The schools have already arranged their pro grammes and arc rehearsing daily so there is not much time for parleying. “A word to lhe wise is sufficient.” Sam Banks, tbe small colored boy who has been on the gaug for the past twelve months, finished bis term on Tuesday night, but instead of be ing given his freedom he was turned over to Sheriff Dos3, who wi'l hold him until a penitentiary guard conies after .him. Banks was convicted, while on the gang, of burglary, and sentenced to the pen lor five years. He it was who broke into tbe Pittman house a little over a year ago. THDMASyjL L EL* Mr. Joseph Leppert, who has been conducting the Mitchell bouse barber shop for the past two years, closed up his shop and left yesterday for Chicago, where he will spend the summer. Mr. Leppert transferred his lease on the store to a Mr. Clark, of Macon, who will open a first-class saloon there at an early clay, Mr. Lepperl’s friends will be glad to learn that he will return to Thomasville next fall. "'Mr. B, W, Stone, the efficient^sec- retary of the pear growers association, and one of the most progressive nur sery men in this section, has compiled a list of all tho melon growers in South Georgia aud the number of acres each one has planted. He also has a complete list of all the pear growers, and a list comprising about two hundred of the best commisdon houses in the United States. Mr. Stone is a veritable encyclopedia on anything pertaining to the fruit and melon business. A SUICIDE IN BRUNSWICK Max Ullman Shoots .Himself. Sheriff Doss was in town last Sun day. Last Saturday was justice court day here. Justice C. T. F. Cardin now holds the scales for this district;" Good showers of rain and plenty of sunshine.for the last few days have made >a great improvement in the growing crops. A fine crop of oats is already made, and tbe prospect very promising for corn, watermelons, etc. . v'-j. ; Carsaro already-beiog put on side tracks for the purpose of moving the melon crop. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Watson, of Thomasville, came over last Friday and enjoyed the picnic with their old Saturday Night’s Blaze. A lew minutes before twelve o’clock on Saturday night an alarm of fire was sounded and a bright light in the di rection of the Presbyterian church guided the firemen to the place. Dr. McIntosh’s barn, located just in rear of Capt. Hicks’ residence, was on fire and before anyone arrived it bad got ten under good headway. The Doc- horses were both locked in the stables, and the efforts, of those first on the scene were directed to releas ing them. Capt. Hicks, with an ax, succeeded in getting 00c of them out. The other horse, which was the doc- favorite and a very valuable animal, was confined in another por tion ol the barn, and not until the fire had spread over the entire building was her whereabouts discovered. The Neptunes had in the meantime arrived and turned on a stream. Fore man Paliu, seeing the frantic and burning horse in the barn, with rare courage and to the horror of the spec tators, forced his way into the burning building, and throwing his coat over the animal’s head, succeeded in lead- her out, when she was driven from the place. Mr. Palin’s courage evoked many expressions of admiration at the hands ot those who sa v the brave act. He was burned somewhat on the arm and back,but not sevtrely. The horse was iu a blaze when Mr. Palin reached her and is very badly burned. The .firemen soon had the fire extinguished, but the barn is a complete loss. Dr. McIntosh bad no insurance. The or igin.of the fire is unknown. Ochockonee Locals. friends. Miss Clifford Hendry, of Brooks county’s fairest daughters, is spending some time, with relatives here. , The firms of Winn and Wilson and, I. S. Spence have been consolidated, and-the firm name now is Winn, Wilson & Spence. Is it not about time for MeigB to ship a car of those gherkins and cit rons ? Say, brother E. E W„ let us hear from you. v When you see a fellow moping around with his nose in a sling you may put it down that he has been trying to ride a bicycle. Rev. John R Battle has accepted the call to the pastoral care of the Baptist church at this place. The annual picnic for our Sunday School, which came off last Friday, was unanimously pronounced a per fect success. The place selected was the Johnston bridge, and at an early hour about one hundred and twenty-five persons had assembled on the grounds. Bright faced little boys and girls were to be seen on every hand, all bent on a day of pleasure— just such pleasure as only children realize. When the hour for din ner arrived nil repaired to a beautiful grove where was spread a most boun tiful supply of such as to tempt the appetite. Don won tbe first prize at the picnic for tbe best appetite of the season. His diaplaj’of chicken bones, etc , was also very elaborate consider ing the short space of time in which was made. \ Prof. J, T. Gardner is arranging a. programme for the closing exercises of Ochlockonee school that promises to eclipse anything of the kind ever seen at this place. An address on education by school commissioner K.* MacLean, Esq., recitations, tableaux, etc., will be some of the features of the exercises. June 8th aud 9th is the dates for the exhibition. Walter Williams Acquitted. We learned- yesterday from parties passing through the city that Walter Williams who has been on trial in Decatur county superior court all this week for a murder committed some thirteen years ago, was acquitted of the crime ) eaterday. Our readers are doubtless familiar with the case, a history of it having been published in these columns only a few days ago. Walter Williams has been confined in the Thomas county jail lor the past six monlbs and these who know him truly g!ad that he is once more a free man. It is said that when the jury brought in its verdict, a most affecting scene ensued. The wife and sister of Williams shed tears of joy over the release of husband and brother. * Hon. J. L. Hall Married. The following special was sent from Camilla to the Atlanta Journal: Camilla, Ga., May 15, 1893 Yesterday Hen. J. L. Hall, one ot Thomas county’s jiopular representa tives in tbe general assembly, was married to Miss Mattie Lou Cochran, of this county. She is the daughter of Hon. R. H. Cochran, Mitchell’s representative in the legislature. It is the same old story of Thomas county drawing on Mitchell for wives for her best young men. But you know this county can beat the world on splendid young women. Mr. Hall is one of Thomas county’i brightest and most prominent young men and his many friends here will join us in' wishing for him and his fair young bride all possible happiness and prosperity. . . Freight Rates on Melons. The traffic men, who were in session iu Atlanta la-t week, did not accom plish anything of special importance. Something was done to extend the field for watermelons, rates on melons having been made to several more points than the shippers had last year: In the matter of green fruits an agreement was made to put a liability clauso in contracts where shippers pay 50 per cent additional freight. Where fruit iB lost through gross negligence the shippers put in his claim and it is allowed, but there are times when the roads comply with the contract, ice at every p’ace named, send the cars forward with dispatch aud carry out their part, but the fruit is reported in bad condition by the commission mc-r chant. This may or may not be true. Last year there was considerable wet weather and fruit will not carry near so well when it has ripened in rainy weather as under a dry sky. Grapes, peaches and other fruits may be handled all right by the railroads and yet arrive at destination in bad con- dition. The companies do not want to have to pay for such fruit. Rates to the west are much lower than to the east. Iemg cost less, too, going, west than going east. The west will be apt to get the choicest fruit this year. Another meeting of the rate com- mittee will be held iu Louisville at the Galt house early in June. At Rest. Tuesday morning at 10 o’c’ock, at her residence, in the presence of large number of relatives and friends, the casket containing all that was mortal of Mrs. Sophronia Mitchell laden with flowers; wrought into beautiful wreaths by loving hands, was lowered into the grave, neath the wide spreading branches of tho cedars, in the old burial ground, The funeral services were conducted by Rev.

C<pt Whitakers race course was the scene ot a lively race Tuesday afternoou between some of the best bi* cyclists of the place. Considering that this was the first race, and that there not a great deal of interest in rid j here, the crowd present was a large one. The following parties entered for the race: Ralph Jennings, \V. D. Barbee, John Chisholm, J. H. Merrill, John Vaughn, B. F. Hawkins and C. M. Smith. As some of' these are old riders and others little more than be ginners, it was necessary to make it handicap race, and the boys made a spin around the track against time to 8h s ow their speed, that they might be placed on an equality with their corn- petitors. Ralph Jennings made the best time and was handicapped 150 yards. Barbee came next and was placed some twenty feet in advance of Jennings, Chisholm was given a con siderate distance start of Barbee, Merrill only a short distance ahead of Chisholm, Vaughn some 30 or 40 yards in advance ot Merrill, and Haw kins and Smith, who made the slowest time, were placed at the line. Judge Hopkins gave the-signal to start and off the boys went. They lairly went flying, the crowd watching with intense interest the fast moving wheelmen. On the home stretch the boys buckled down to it for all they were worth, and the excitement of the spectators in creased. Amid the yelling of the crowd the line was crossed in the fol lowing order: Barbee, Hawkins, Jen nings, Merrill, Smith, Chisholm and Vaughn. An effort was made to get up another race, but the boys not being used to racing were too tired to go into it again. Barbee, the winner, rode a Keat ing; Jennings, Hawkins and Smith, Columbia; Merrill, Lovell; Vaughn, Dunlap; Chisholm, Victor. Another race will no doubt bear- ranged for an early day. The Melon Crop. We quote. the following from the News: The uoanimous opinion of those who have been all over the melon growing section of the stale is to the effect that the acreage is just about the .Same as that of last year, but the v trop promises to be better and melons larger. Very few of the growers have planted as many acres this season as last, but there is a greater number of growers which brings the' acreage up to about the same as last year.- r All ot the growers say that the crop will un doubtedly be much finer and a greater number of melons to tbe acre. More fertilizers have been used than ever before, and the lower part of the state the vines are prolific with small melons. In some placea-ihe, hard storm of last Saturday week injured the cipp sight ly, but not enough to make any mate rial difference. The outlook-is that the crop will begin moving from the lower part of the s’a’.e about June *5, and from then until the season is over the railroads wilhbave about is much as they can handle. In the past the railroads and foreign commission mer chants have reaped all of the profits from the crop and the Georgia grower has lost his melons, time and money. This year, however, tho grower, will know who he. is shipping his crop to and what prices are to be paid for it btfore it leaves his field, and as they are all organized, they will stand by one another in maintaining fair prices. The total number of acres on tbe roads in the state in round numbers ate as follow: Savannah, Florida & Western,-10,000; Savannah, Americus & Montgomery, 400; Brunswick & Western, 300, East Tennessee. Virgin ia & Georgia, 500 Georgia Southern & Florida, 5,600; Central and its branches io,oco. These and tbe small scattering patches overlooked, will make the total number of acres plant ed in the state for the foreign market fully 30,000 acres, which on an average of two acres to the car, means 15,000 cat loads of melons to be shipped from this section. It is true that a few ot the melons in the list compiled by the Georgia Southern will be grown in Florida, but there will be more than enough grown iu Georgia for shipping purposes and not included in the above to offset them. More About Young Hill’s Doings Atlanta, May 17.—Circumstances of a widely sensation nature are cropping out in regard to the forgeries of Harry Hill. Banker Tollison. who holds several notes, claims that if they are not paid at maturity, he will sue Mrs. J, H. Porter, whose name', it is claimed, war forged. The police daim that they are in possession ot proofs that Harry Hill had two accomplices, one, a young married woman known all over the State, the other a well known Atlanta broker. The grand jury will immediately indict Hill, and accomplices, top, if sufficient proof can be had. The receiver, who was appointed to wind up the affairs of Hill’s concern will soon finish his work. The Whisky Company found that stock has already been sold to Col. John W. Echols. The hearing of the case is set for Saturday, and sensational develop ments are expected*, ' They Don’t Like It. The bicyclist don’t like the ordi nance introduced at the last meeting of the council which, if passed, will deprive them of riding on any of the side walks in the city. The ordinance has been read first aud second times and will come up for fioal action ou next Monday. It is as follows : Be it ordained, that from and after the passage ot this ordinance bv the the city council of Thomasville, it shall be unlawful lor any persou or persons to ride bicycles on any of the public side walks within the corporate limits of the city. Any violations of the same shall be punished as prescribed in section one ol the general penal ordinance.” Now, the boys think this would work a hardship on them. Many of the streets ou’side of the business portion of town arc unsuitable for riding and as the side walks in these parts are never crowded they cannot see why they should not be allowed to use them. Of course they will not object to the law being applied to the fire district. They realize that bicycles on the side walks that are constantly in use are a nuisance, and they think the law now in force is ah that is nec essary. Should the couucil pass the ordinance as it now reads it will in a large measure btop the use of wheels in Thomasville, aud we hope they will at least modify it. that the ex confederates of Chicago have just completed a beautiful mon ument to the confederate dead in that city. The monument is to be un veiled an an early day. An appeal has been made to Georgia and other southern states for flowers to strew on the graves of’ Dixie’s dead who sleep beside lake Michigan. The flowers should be packed in wooden boxes with the tops slatted. The Southern Express Company will carry them free. All flowers from Georgia should be sent so as to. reach Atlanta not later than the 29th inst. Will not the women of Thomasville send some of onr wealth of flowers to be placed on the graves of some of tbe -six thousand southerners who died at Camp Douglas, and whose bodies rest in the soil of Illinois? There were Georgia boys there, boys who never came back to the old home in the South. The bleak winds from lake Michigan sweep across their humble graves while the flowers are blooming in their southland, tbe land for which they died. Yes, Thomasville should contribute her share of floral offerings to those distant graves. Mr. Keep, of New York, who bought the valuable property on up per Broad street opposite the Metho dist parsonage, is stopping at Mrs. Scott’s. He is arranging the plans for the erection ot a handsome winter residence on his lot. the World’s fair with only ono week’s absence from home. As this schedule is via Thomasville the same figures will apply here. This is how tbe Press says it can be done: “To the Savannahian who is only to have a week’s recreation the fol lowing summer the worlds fair is of but little interest, as the impression is that it requires a mouth or more to see the fair thoroughly. No doubt it does, but what can be done In a week’s vacation with fast schedules is wonderfhl. With leave of absence for a week a persou can leave Sayan nah and havo four days at the fair. This is th3 way it is done: Leave Savannah Sunday morning; arrive in Chicago Monday evening; Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday can be put in seeing the sights; take the train at the fair grounds Saturday morning, lie-in Savannah Sunday night, and at work Monday morning —four whole days at the fair. Of course “doing” the fair in four days is not like taking a month, but, never theless, in these fast schedule days the fair, can be visited in a week with pleasure and profit.” Some of the boys are talking about taking a tour through Florida on their whee’s. About the first Florida sand bank they strike will turn them back. The plans of the new Baptist church are being' rapidly perfected, The building will be one of the hand* somesfcin the city. As a rival of the Keely Cure, it is said that the Hagey Institute, in Montgomery, Ala., is a success. Many have been cured there of the liquor, opium and morphine habit. Few people know how many people are the victims of these habits. And fair, but -frail woman, is not exempt from them. We understand it probable that a branch of the Hagey Institute may be established in Thom asville. Any institution which could and would cure these habits would | throve a Messing to humanity.

Upon reaching his office yesterday morning Jndge Alexander found a couple waiting for him to marry them. Of course they were of the colored persuasion and were diked out in their best bib and tucker. The dusky bride was dressed in the latest style, her white skirt, which lacked about six inches of being long enough, evidently had an overdose of crinoline, for it stood out like an open parachute, showing off to great advantage a pair of number nine feet. The groom was attired very plainly with the exception of a flashy red tie and snow white knit gloves. The bride also showed her weakness tor red by wearing a profusion of red bows and a tall red feather in her hat. After the ceremony, the usual daloot” was bestowed upon the bride by the groom, and tbe couple, hand in hand, and utterly oblivious to the attention they were attracting, re paired to the nearest soda water foun tain and jointly disposed ot a single glass of the strawberry hued bever age.
